Would you like to to know more about why and how it works? Also, what can be done for older and other models that do not have an OVP feature?

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)



Just a not so little side story. I was in my tractor Supply a few weeks back and they had a used Champion 46514 Watt gen sitting there with a $150 tag on it. I wandered away as I already had one for my camp and just a week earlier bought a Champion 5,000 watt for home back-up.
Well, I did my wandering and came back to the gen set sitting there. i looked it over and it was dusty but like new.
I asked how form that $150. price was and they got the manager. I asked why it was on sale. They said the customer said the RPM's kept going higher & higher and he shut it down then returned it.
The manager said make a offer. I thought for a moment and said I have $75. in my pocket and he said sold.
I brought it home with later intentions of checking it out and if it was defective I at least had a parts gen.
Well, we got a bad ice storm a few days later and lost power. I hadn't even took the 5,000 watt out of the box. I thought about the 3,500, and put some gas in it checked the oil. Started on first pull.
I ran that baby for three days to power the house sparingly.
I've come to the belief their was nothing wrong with that gen set at all and the original customer bought the gen during a power outage and then returned it after use saying it was defective.
Well, I'm a happy camper for that gamble. Great little gens these Champions.
